Health - 14 March 2007

I've been itching on my back, legs, stomach, arms, ears, and thighs. Where ever I scratch turns red and gets puffy. Whenever Ive had an itch before my skin would turn red but it never reacted with the puffiness before. It has'nt stopped for 2 weeks and I havent changed laundry soap or bath soap or anything. Ive washed and rewashed all my clothes, sheets and blankets. I havent tried any new foods or perfume. Im not allergic to any medication of foods that I'm aware of. I was just wondering if anyone has any idea if it will pass or if I should see a doctor.

Im currently a senior in my high school. I used to have straight A's and B's. I used to do all those extra credits for projects, and get overly creative whether its a piece of writing or artwork. But this year, I have failed more than half my school classes. I have skipped classes so many times and was tardy that I might get suspended. don't have any motivation at all to do any of my school work. It is not that I am not interested in the subjects. I procrastinate in almost everything, and it might have just cost me my college acceptence because I did not practice my audition materials enough and screwed up ( i have to wait for letters around april). I keep on getting into arguements with my parents, and now they always yell at me for being lazy. I have broken off so many commitments in activites I just suddenly did not feel like attending anymore. My guidance councellor tells me she has over 70 kids to watch over and cannot help me individually. I am scared I won't even graduate HS.

I was given effexor 2 weeks ago for anxiety and depression. I also believe I have sleep apnea and I see a sleep medicine doctor in 2 weeks. I have only had about 3 hours of sleep every night for the past month or so. I'm fighting another cold and I'm absoutely exhausted. I have 2 kids and a husband that does nothing to help and I work full time. I tried to stay home from work Monday just to sleep and I couldn't get to sleep. I'm getting scared that something is going to happen or I'm going to cause an accident or something. Help.

Sorry so long....

My mother (75) was in the hospital during x-mas time. During that time they diagnosed her with diabetes/pre-diabetes. She was having blood levels ranging from 130-265 while in the hospital. We got the glucose meter....etc, and started testing at home. We also went and seen a dietician and she was puzzled with my mother's at home readings, that were only ranging from 91-130. She is not taking any insulin at this time.

Fast forward to last week when my mother had to have a 12 hour fasting labwork done at the hospital. The hospital said her blood glucose was 195. I don't understand how. We have never been able to duplicate such a high reading at home, especially not eating anything for 12 hours.

I have calibrated the meter and it is fine, but I don't know what is going one. If anyone has maybe some insight as to what is going on, I would love to hear it. Could the hospital's tests be off in some way?

TIA!!!!
